How Hollywood's MP in Canada

How Hollywood's MP in Canada financed her campaign - copyfight lawyer Michael Geist has been investigating the campaign financing of Sarmite Bulte, the MP who lost her seat largely due to evidence that she had been bought by the recording industry.

Wikipedia article of the day: Pinkerton's National Detective Agency. Watching the HBO series "Deadwood", the agency plays a significant role in aiding George Herst's takeover of the gold mining operations in town. I wasn't clear on exactly who or what the Pinkertons were, aside from being a bunch of goons who all wear the same kind of sinister-yet-dapper clothes.
